TIK’s ‘EURO’ Concert

Ukrainian folk band TIK will bring their national tour to Lviv for a jolly show at the city’s circus on February 7th. TIK goes all the way back to 2005 when then-history student Viktor Broniuk (vocals, accordion) and music student Denys Repey (bass guitar) met in Vinnytsia. They named the band TIK after the Ukrainian phrase “Tverezist I Kultura” (Sobriety and Culture). They released their debut album LiteraDura (Crazy Literature) in 2007 and their second disc tyHYI (Quiet) the following year. Their 2011 third album Vesilnyi (The Wedding One) won the group the reputation as one of Ukraine’s most festive, paving the way for a collaboration with the popular Irina Bilyk on Ne Tsiluy (Don’t Kiss). They continued to work together, releasing the new track Zyma (Winter) and heading out on a Best Ukrainian Hits tour that saw them perform a Ukrainian-record 24 concerts in 30 days!

The band does not shy away from the events that have rocked Ukraine in recent years. Among the group’s comic videos, there are some pretty serious ones devoted to Ukraine and those that struggle for it, such as: Zapah Viyny (The Smell of War), Lyuby Ty Ukrainu (Love YOUkraine), and IstoriYA (History). Leopolitans and guests of the city will be treated to their newest concert program “EUROdvyzhn”, a play on the song contest the country will host in May and based on the idea of Ukraine “forever planning” to join the EU. You can find tickets for 90-420 UAH.
